“Swim with the manatees” burning a hole in your bucket list? Then why not take a fun-for-all-ages Manatee Tour, where you can jump in the water and swim with these friendly, curious, slow-moving giants?
Before embarking on your adventure, you’ll be instructed on how to interact in a way that’s fun for both you and the manatees. Shortly afterwards, you’ll be whisked away by a covered, U.S. Coast Guard inspected boat to the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll finally get to meet the famed manatees.
And while you and your new sea friends are having fun, your in-water tour guides will be photographing the highlights of this truly remarkable experience.
The manatees are waiting to play!

A few hours in nature not enough for the two of you? During this event, you’ll be left to explore the lush environment of Crystal River- for a full day!
You’ll be paddling a top-end kayak that offers safety features such as a sit-on top, as well as ample storage for beverages and gear, such as a camera to capture sights along the way.
And that’s good news, since Crystal River is known for its large manatee population, and is popular with adventurists who enjoy both serene natural beauty and exotic wildlife.
In addition to manatees, you may well spot a host of other wildlife, including dolphins, herons, otters, pelicans, and eagles. If it sounds like heaven, that’s because it is. Wildlife heaven, anyway.

Holy sea cows! This 4-hour chartered adventure will have you swimming with the manatees, as you experience a guided snorkeling trip to some of the best spots in the Crystal River Wildlife refuge.
You’ll also get to enjoy the comforts of a decked-out house boat in between swims, where you can kick back with some complimentary snacks and beverages.
In the water, you’ll get up close and personal to Florida’s most iconic underwater mammals, guided in your adventure by an intrepid captain committed to showing you a good time.
You’ll also receive access to a number of photographs to commemorate your day. That’s good, because you’re going to need visual proof that all of this actually happened!

This tour may well reduce you to a state of shell shock. But that’s only because of the sheer number of scallops involved!
This full service scalloping tour will take you around to some of the best harvesting grounds in the grass flats and crystalline waters of Citrus County.
You’ll be diving in shallow waters typically no deeper than 5 feet, bagging scallops, and storing them in ice chests on your chartered boat.
Along the way, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to observe some of the area wildlife, including sea turtles and dolphins, as well as coral, sponges, and a variety of aquatic plantlife!

Kind words from our customers

Vimbly service and communication was leaps and bounds above any other online interaction I have ever had.

Vimbly is the best! It is super convenient and makes trying new things easy. The classes they link you up with are extraordinary facilities that exceed expectations. I could not be happier after discovering Vimbly. A++

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.

Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.

Amanda K.

As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

Vimbly hooks you up with a no hassle booking process and makes you seem like an expert in what’s going down in the city.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.

Evan W.

Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.
